Half-hearted Flowers for Algernon story. None of the actors seem to really believe it.

In spite of its lofty goal to remind the masses that the disabled are human beings with feelings just like everyone else, Molly abounds with cliches about the very people it purports to represent.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 5, 2002
In a world desperate for any kind of kinship, the ties between brothers and sisters remain an invaluable and often unexplored treasure.

Bizarrely inept.

Nothing feels authentic--not the relationships or the earnest performances from the soap opera-pretty cast.

Unfortunately, despite a praise worthy performance by Elisabeth Shue, the movie did not leave us with a lasting impression or emotional connection.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Beautiful as she is, Elisabeth Shue is simply impossible to watch without cringing whenever she tries to do autistic.
